Fragment Line
From Fraction to Refraction
From Fraction to Refraction
The new Fragment Line collection of horizontal lighting fixtures, designed by Studio DECHEM, embodies a panorama of a radiant galaxy. It breathes new life not only into glass shards but also becomes the inner universe of the interior.
Fragment Line captures the dialogue between light and nature, where melted shards drift like clouds over horizons. The collection uses the recently developed Fragmentglass technique, based on fusing upcycled glass shards. This technology was developed for BOMMA by the designers at Studio DECHEM. This time, multicolored pieces of glass are combined into long, uniform panels that form the shade of the pendant light. The diversity of these fragments enables a fascinating play of light refraction.
The Fragment Line collection allows BOMMA to push the boundaries between aesthetic and technical lighting solutions, opening the door to new possibilities for lighting comfort.
Fragment Line is designed as the ideal lighting for dining, worktables, or kitchen islands, where functionality comes together with minimalist design.
The design allows adjusting its lighting to current needs – from warm white, ideal for relaxation, to cool white, that supports both concentration and alertness.
Designer Michaela Tomišková from Studio DECHEM adds, “Another innovation is the ability to choose the direction of light by connecting two separate circuits. The light can be directed either onto the shading glass plates and creating a soft diffusion or downward to efficiently illuminate the space beneath. The inherent diversity of Fragmentglass allows pleasant variations of ambient light for any application.”
Individual lights from the Fragment Line collection can be effectively grouped for long spaces, such as hotel lobbies, bars, or meeting rooms. Individual lights are 140 cm long and available in several colors. The glass panels are either chosen as White, which combines matte white and transparent shards, or Black, fusing transparent, black, and plum-colored fragments. Fragment Line’s elegant metal mountings are designed with brushed gold or silver finishes.
DECHEM Studio was established in Prague in 2012 by Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek. They first met at the Novy Bor School of Glass, where they both fell in love with the earliest synthesised material in human history. While Michaela went on to study product design at AAAD Prague (Academy of Arts Prague) and later worked for several acclaimed design studios, Jakub continued to hone his skills in the lighting industry, specialising in glass workmanship, technology, and manufacturing. Since establishing DECHEM Studio they have focused on product design and maintained a special attention to glass.
